Chapter 29

After entering Nanyang County, Zhang Xiu was much more relaxed. In Xiangyang, Zhang Xiu's spirit has been tense, worried about unexpected treat.

Now, finally out of Xiangyang.

However, during this period, Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying did not have any substantive contact, and he did not take the initiative to get close, because there is no need now, and there is plenty of time in the future.

On the contrary, Xu Shu was full of curiosity.

Xu Shu knew Huang Yueying and knew that Zhang Xiu didn't stay in Xiangyang for a few days. But in this short period of time, Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying even know each other and let Huang Yueying go north to Yuyang county.

It's shocking.

You know, Huang Yueying is Huang Chengyan's daughter, to some extent, representing the Huang family.

Zhang Xiu's relationship with the Huang family surprised Xu Shu. However, Xu Shu is happy to see its success, because if Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying can come together, it will be a great help to Zhang Xiu.

A group of people rushed into Xinye and soon joined the army.

The soldiers under Zhang's command are more than five thousand skinny. Originally, there was a shortage of food in the army. During the period when Zhang Xiu left, they all lived frugally, tightened their belts, and looked forward to the stars and the moon waiting for Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu appeared, everyone gathered together, a pair of eyes light fell on Zhang Xiu, full of excitement.

"The general is back!"

"General, you are back at last.

"General, has the negotiation been successful?"

……

One after another, the cries and inquiries are constantly ringing out.

Every soldier's face, there are expectations, more a trace of uneasiness and uneasiness. If Zhang Xiu goes south to Xiangyang and the negotiation fails, it means that they are completely isolated.

They are looking forward to Zhang Xiu's return with good news.

Zhang Xiu's big sleeve brushed and said, "Huang Zhao, call all the soldiers together and let them sit cross legged. I will have something to say."

"Here it is

Huang Zhaode orders, go to arrange it immediately.

Under the coordination of Huang Zhao, all the officers and men in the army gathered.

Facing all the soldiers, Zhang Xiu said in a loud voice: "sons, I'm going to come back from Xiangyang. We made it

"Boom!"

Among the soldiers, there was a shout of the tsunami.

At this moment, countless soldiers cheered.

At this moment, countless soldiers hugged and wept.

During the period when Zhang Xiu went south to Xiangyang, the army was short of food, the soldiers were not fed and clothed, and they were afraid all day.

Now, they have survived.

They waited until Zhang Xiu came back.

Zhang Xiu looks at the soldiers who cry with joy, the soldiers who shout loudly, the soldiers who vent their emotions, and a bright smile appears on her angular face.

It's all worth it!

During this trip to Xiangyang, he not only gained a foothold, food and weapons, but also military confidence.

After this incident, the army was determined.

Zhang Xiu did not disturb the cheers of the soldiers, standing quietly, letting the soldiers vent. Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the noisy scene gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Xiu again.

Zhang Xiu took a breath and continued: "this time, we will negotiate with Liu Biao and reach an agreement. Nanyang County to the north of Yuyang county is under our command. "

"In addition, Liu Biao will send 50000 stone grain, 5000 swords and 3000 sets of armor. In addition to this batch of grain and armor, the Cai family in Jingzhou will also send 100000 Jin of grain, 1000 swords and 500 sets of armor. "

"With this grain, we will have no worries about food and clothing."

Zhang Xiu clenched her fist and waved it in the air, saying: "we've survived the hardships. Next, our life will be better and better."

After listening, the soldiers cried out.

Countless soldiers look excited, the hearts of incomparable joy.

The scene is very lively.

After announcing the contents of the negotiation, Zhang Xiu ordered the whole army to go north to Yuyang county.

As the troops were on their way, Xu Shu came to Zhang Xiu and said, "Lord, now the morale of the army is stable, we still need more propaganda to stabilize the morale of the army and consolidate the morale."

Zhang xiudao: "how to publicize?"

Xu Shu said with a smile: "it's very simple to find some eloquent soldiers to publicize the deeds of the Lord in Xiangyang City. The Lord's great power in Xiangyang can convince the soldiers. "

Zhang Xiu brightened her eyes and said, "what Yuan Zhi said is true. You can arrange it."

"Here it is

Xu Shu answered and arranged.

The team continued on their way, and Xu Shu arranged for it.

Soon after, soldiers in the army publicized Zhang Xiu's fighting in Xiangyang against Kuai Liang, Li Heng, Yi Ji and many other things that happened in Xiangyang.

This is to highlight the difficulties Zhang Xiu encountered in Xiangyang, let us know that Zhang Xiu is not easy, but also let the soldiers cherish the hard won in front of them and appreciate Zhang Xiu's efforts.On the way to Yuyang County, sentinels came from behind. The sentinel quickly came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "general, this is a letter from the Kuai family in Xiangyang. The messenger said that this letter is very important. Please open it yourself

Zhang Xiu took the letter and scanned it quickly. After reading it, she handed it to Xu Shu and said, "Sir, have a look."

Xu Shu also read it quickly and said, "this letter is written by Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang is a man who will not cheat. Liu Biao let Gong Du and Liu PI come to Jingzhou in order to block the Lord. It seems that there will be a big war soon after the Lord arrives in Yuyang county. "

Zhang Xiu disdained to say: "Gong Du and Liu PI are not enough to be afraid. As a matter of top priority, we should first arrive in Yuyang county and get a foothold as soon as possible. This is the most important thing. "

Xu Shu said: "my Lord is wise!"

Zhang Xiu also feels time is pressing, no longer delay time, ordered full speed forward.

The team set out and soon arrived in Yuyang county.

Yuyang county magistrate has been informed by Liu Biao for a long time, and has been ready for the handover. When Zhang Xiu arrived, the magistrate of Yuyang county and Zhang Xiu met. After a simple handover, they left Yuyang county directly.

Zhang Xiu doesn't care about it either.

After he took the soldiers into the city, he stationed in the city, and then asked Xu Shu to check the situation of Yuyang county. An hour later, Xu Shu came back, but with a bitter face and a helpless look.

In the hall, the guest and host are seated.

Seeing Xu Shu's expression, Zhang Xiu inquired, "Yuanzhi, is the situation not optimistic?"

Xu Shu sighed: "my Lord, I'm not optimistic. Today's Yuyang county is as poor as a house. There is no grain in the granary of the county government; there is no decent weapon in the armory. The garrison in Yuyang county is old, weak, sick and disabled. "

"In particular, all the assistant officials in Yuyang county have gone."

"Now there are only some old soldiers in the county government."

"Now Yuyang county has been completely emptied, leaving only a mess for us."

Xu Shu said: "despicable speculation, this is most likely Liu Biao under the order, so will withdraw clean."

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, Liu Biao is not very friendly to us. Although I'm very poor now, there will be food and weapons soon, and everything will be over. Moreover, it's a good thing that Yuyang county is empty. It's convenient for us to act, and no one will hinder us. "

Xu Shu thought carefully and said with a smile, "there is a certain truth in what the LORD said."

Zhang Xiu said: "the vacant official posts in Yuyang county should be filled as soon as possible, and the operation of Yuyang county should be standardized as soon as possible. Liu Biao wants to embarrass us, but we have to make some achievements in Yuyang county to let Liu Biao know that his small skills are not on the table. "

"Here it is

In Xu Shu's eyes, he also had fighting spirit.

As the saying goes, governing a big country is like governing a small country. He is confident and can handle the affairs of Yuyang County well.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a soldier entered outside the hall.

The soldier looked flustered, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "general, there's something wrong. A group of people from outside the north gate called for the general to hand in money and grain, or Yuyang county will be broken. "

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "who is the bearer?"

The soldier said, "the leader has bird feathers on his head, bells around his waist and strange clothes. He calls himself Ganning of Bajun."
